Description: "Oliver Jones, one of Canada's premier jazz pianists, bassist Dave Young, and drummer Archie Alleyn, take their music to Africa and discover the land that fostered the roots for much of today's North American music.  Touring Nigeria extensively, the Oliver Jones Trio meet and perform with some of the country's top msuciains.  Honored by chief and dignitaries, sung to by children and village choirs, and treated to sacred and ritual dance ceremonies, the trio feel the pulse of life in the music, absorbing its complex rhythms."
